How do you feel now? I have more energy and do not get as winded when playing sports like soccer and volleyball.

How has your body changed? I have lost inches in my thighs and waist. I have also gained a lot of muscle in my upper body. When I first started with Sharon, I was not even able to do a push up without modifying it.

Have you lost weight or changed clothes’ sizes? Since starting back in April of 2013, I have lost 12 lbs and must wear a belt with all of my jeans, and really need to get some suspenders for my workout pants. (ha) I have also gone from wearing a Large in tops to a Medium.

Are you stronger? Are you surprised at what you can do now? Do you have more endurance? I am much stronger in my upper body than I was a year ago. As I mentioned earlier I am now able to do non-modified push ups, can squat with heavier weights, and I do not have to sub out of my soccer games as often.

Has your health improved? I can definitely tell that my joints do not hurt as much as they used to.

What would you tell others who are hesitant to start? Those who have just started and are struggling? I tell my friends that are hesitant to start that it will take a lot of time and do not get discouraged. I was not in the best of shape when I started and it is a slow battle, but it is definitely worth the time and effort.
